So noise and popping and suspected guibo failures show the front and rear donuts missing giant chunks. so a couple of questions:
1) There are different parts depending on the engine number but my car has a different engine than it came with so is there a VIN distinction I can go by instead of the engine number? And if not, just by looking underneath, the center donut looks like the cheaper version, the one which fits Alfettas also. Can I go by looks for this part? There is a distinct visual difference in the pictures of the 2 choices....
2) Are all the common suppliers guibos of decent quality? there are big differences in the prices and just wondering if that means anything.
3) I had my exhaust repaired and the dumb muffler shop welded the rear section to the center so i can't just unbolt the exhaust. Can I replace the guibos without removing exhaust and instead just letting it hang down off the mounts?
4) Anything else to know about this? I've had all of this out before as I replaced the engine so I'm not completely green but I'm sure it's going to be fun.....
